      Hi,              On 2015-05-08 23:46:00, Ed Vance wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:        about: "Re: Can DVD-R be put on D":               EV> @MSGID: 13893.windowsa@1:2320/105.1 19b2f153              This is how it arrives here (I checked the .pkt file it came in).               WvV>> @MSGID: <55435804.13884.windowsa@capcity2.synchro.net>               EV>> @MSGID: 13880.windowsa@1:2320/105.1 19a7b538               EV> That isn't what I saw when I wrote my reply to You.        EV> What I see at the top of this message for the @MSGID: is        EV> <55435804.13884.windowsa@capcity2.synchro.net>, I was surprised to        EV> see the part after the @ symbol was changed to numbers that meant the        EV> Routing Information for Mikes' BBS.              A MSGID is supposed to have the nodenumber in it in Fidonet.              The definition is:              MSGID               A MSGID line consists of the string "^AMSGID:" (where ^A is a        control-A (hex 01) and the double-quotes are not part of the        string), followed by a space, the address of the originating        system, and a serial number unique to that message on the        originating system, i.e.:               ^AMSGID: origaddr serialno              So Mike's system probably sets it that way when it leaves the system to his       links in fidonet.               EV> Has the Origin Line in this message been changed to capcity2 yet?              Nope still the same.               EV> I haven't seen any reply from Mike in the echo that I posted the        EV> message to tell him about it.              Hmm, Mike doesn't seem very active on his system... That happens. :-(               WvV>> Btw: why isn't that hostname in the nodelist? He has a binkd        WvV>> online there...               EV> I got no idea of what is in the nodelist, I'm a User of this BBS,        EV> I don't know the stuff SysOp's know about BBSing.              Ok. ;)               EV> I always appreciated the people who had a computer that ran a BBS.               EV> I began using BBS's in 1984 when I used a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud        EV> modem.              Exactly the same here! ;)               EV> I had accounts with BBS's ran on Commodore, Apple and IBM Compatable        EV> computers.               EV> Back then I read Computer Shopper Magazine and saw how much it cost to        EV> buy those computers.        EV> I didn't own a compatable pc until 1994, and that one (to me) cost a        EV> lot of $$$$$$$$$$$ in 1994.               EV> The C=64 wasn't cheap in 1984 either - the pc, floppy drive and modem        EV> cost as much as 'ONE' 4MB SIMM RAM stick cost in 1994 when I got the        EV> compatable.              Tell me about it! ;)              After the C=64. I switched to Amiga's and those were even more expensive, but       lot's of fun! ;)                     Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32-1.69.5.104-B20150507        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
